Down the years Hull have usually had better crowds than Rovers, we can't argue with that and since the move to the KC Hull have taken full advantage of their surroundings and built one of the biggest home support followings in the game. In contrast to that though, Rovers have never had as low an attendence in Super League as Hull have had if we look back at the Boulevard days since summer rugby league was introduced. The lowest Super League crowd Hull have had is 3161 for a home game with Salford back in 1999. The lowest Super League crowd Rovers have had is 6299 in 2007, also against Salford. One thing for sure, Rovers crowds will never drop to the 3161 that Hull had whilst we are in Super League, and we all know that will be for years to come.
We're not the best supported team at home and Craven Park is a major factor in that, but we're also not the worst for home crowds, and far from it. As for away support, I do feel some fans exaggerate the figures, but away support is healthy from Rovers, and often commented on by not only fans of other clubs but more importantly chairmen and board members of other clubs.
Rovers are making steady progress in the Super League, at a guess I'd say we are the most successful promoted team since the inception of Super League in the short time we've been in the elite division and with ground improvements, I can only see the crowds going up on the home side, with more away supporters wanting to travel to Craven Park also.
